Program Overview

Build the Linework Skills Every Tattoo Shop Wants

Level 1 is where you master precise line work — straight lines, curves, circles, and shapes executed cleanly and consistently. Because most walk-in requests are Level 1 tattoos, mastering this stage makes you highly employable. Learn through live, interactive tattoo artist classes online or in person.

  • Linework Mastery: Clean, smooth lines that stay uniform in value and thickness across every edge, point, and curve.
  • Two Flexible Formats: A 104-hour, 26-week online path or an intensive 80-hour, 2-week on-campus program.
  • Interactive Learning: Watch demos live, practice on camera, and get real-time feedback from instructors.
